Site Selection

Consider the following criteria when selecting a site to install the router in a Data Center environment:

•

Temperature and Ventilation: For proper ventilation, install the router with ample airflow to the front and

back of the router.

Important:

To prevent the device from overheating, do not operate it in an area where the ambient

temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C).

Pour empêcher l’interrupteur de surchauffe, ne pas utiliser il dans une zone où la température

ambiante est supérieure à 104°F (40°C).

•

Airflow Orientation: The fans and PSUs determine the airflow direction through the router. The color of

the visible handles or labels indicates the airflow direction.

•

Red Handle: The red handle represents the air exit module. The following figure shows the airflow

direction through the router with an air exit module.

Orient the router so airflow goes from the cooler to the hotter aisle.

•

Rack Space: Install the router in a 19" rack or cabinet. The accessory kit provides mounting brackets for

two-post and four-post racks.

When mounting the router in a partially filled rack, load the rack from bottom to top, with the heaviest

equipment at the bottom. If the router is the only item in the rack, load it at the bottom.

•

Power Requirements: Each router and power supply model has different power requirements. For

information regarding your specific system, refer to Specifications.
